I finally had enough. Coming home to a floor of fur on a daily basis was just too much. Plus friends are coming next week and we can’t be vacuuming every day when they’re here, so we went to our trusted neighborhood Costco and got our Roomba.

Meet Pedro…

The kids aren’t big fans of Pedro, but I am. Mocha ignores it, probably because she’s senile and hard of hearing; Truffalo growls at it and scurries away; and I am finally enjoying a continuously hairball- and dirt-free home for the first time in 13 years. How I managed to live in filth for the last 13 years, I can’t say for sure; but what I can say for sure is this – mom’s going to LOVE this thing when she sees it.
